[section:indir `operator->()`]

[section:indir_const `operator->() const`]
const_strict_lock_ptr<T,Lockable> operator->() const;
If the `synchronized_value` object involved is const-qualified, then you'll only be able to call const methods
through `operator->`. So, for example, `vec->push_back("xyz")` won't work if `vec` were const-qualified.
The locking mechanism capitalizes on the assumption that const methods don't modify their underlying data.

[section:synchronize `synchronize()`]
strict_lock_ptr<T,Lockable> synchronize();
The synchronize() factory make easier to lock on a scope. As discussed, `operator->` can only lock over the duration of a call, so it is insufficient for complex operations. With `synchronize()` you get to lock the object in a scoped and to directly access the object inside that scope.
[*Example:]
void fun(synchronized_value<vector<int>> & vec) {
auto vec2=vec.synchronize();
vec2.push_back(42);
assert(vec2.back() == 42);
}
